Citing the Forbes ranking, from the SF Chronicle:
Comparatively, the Bay Area is showing real signs of job recovery. With a new surge in tech jobs, healthcare, education, transportation and energy sector employment, two local cities made the top ten “best” job cities list. The data come from an Indeed.com survey in which U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics were examined to determine “the number of job postings per thousand people in each major U.S. metropolitan area. The data covers job listings in the fourth quarter of 2011 with salary estimates of $50,000 or more.” And from these data, two Bay Area cities take 1st and 3rd honors not only for job offerings, but for relatively high-paying ones.
